📍 AMBOY FAR EAST CENTER, DTLA It’s the chef that created Egg Slut, the Filipino American egg sandwich connoisseur. His small shop in chinatown makes these specialty burgers and they’re insane! For a special event, i also found his longanesa hot dog on the menu and sisig fries with calamansi! 🍊🍟 Beers was so special too. Paired so well with the meal. You can find this across from Amboy at La Sita and other stores and restaurants around LA. Two Filipino LA brothers brought this over from the Philippines and all the flavors are so good. I’m not usually a beer drinker but the Ube Lager was so unique! (They also have Honey and a Mango flavor). Check them out for a taste of LA Filipino American innovation! 📍 AMBOY

Now, you can have thai tea the real way here in LA! Most Thai restaurants use an artifical powder to sell Thai teas that we all love, but the real thing is actually so much more. Brewed, strained, real spices like star anise, cardamom, cinnamon and more. Cha Tra Mue is a very well known brand in Thailand for Thai tea and while they do make the powder form, they also sell Thai tea the way it’s meant to be made in their stores. Now there is one location in America and it is in Chinatown la! They have a variety of styles for you to try.😋 🧡 🧋 Try for yourselves!

MARU COFFEE Maru adopts its name from a native Korean language, San Ma Ru, which means ‘mountaintop’. This is our symbol of quality as the finest coffee beans are grown and harvested from areas of high altitude. Born from a love of process and everyday quality, we are inspired by all things analog and the simplicity of good coffee. We believe that quality does not have to be austere and that tradition can be respected as well as re-imagined. Maru is made with intention, balance, and a love for the ritual of a well-made coffee.
